10 Windows 10 issues you need to consider

Yes why not.

Get It Try It

PLANET EARTH (Rixstep) — Windows 10: the system you will upgrade to whether you like it or not. Windows 10 is going to be a success. Sort of. Standing on the sidelines and witnessing the hysteria is an experience both comical and tragic. How fortunate then that CIO give us some much-needed mirth. Yes, this is taking the 'P' on them and Windows (l)users in general, but who cares? That's the least we can demand for having to put up with Redmond Rubbish™ for so many years.

Following are CIO.com's 'issues' with regards to Windows 10. Do they know how prophetic they are?

1. The clock is ticking on Windows 7

Is that clock connected to a BOMB? Will it EXPLODE? Can anyone fault people for HOPING?

2. Windows 10 is (almost certainly) more secure

Going out on a limb there, CIO? Anything is more secure. A blooming minefield is more secure.

3. Windows 10 may make mobile computing more attractive

Duh. Windows 10 will make walks in the Florida swamps more attractive. Windows 10 will make poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick more attractive.

4. Uncertainty over Windows Phone means the value of universal apps is questionable

The only uncertainty about Windows Phone isn't 'if' but 'when'. The smell has been bothersome for longer than people want to remember.

5. Migrating from 7 to 10 is likely to be much easier than the move from XP to 7

Yes, but migrating away from Microsoft is the best of them all. And it has the most rewards too.

6. Application and hardware incompatibilities won't be a big issue

Surely not. Microsoft long ago put the clamp down on OEMs, requiring code-signing granted only if the peripherals could demonstrate significant signal deterioration.

7. Windows 10 changes the way the operating system is updated

Yes it does. Now you have to accept their updates whether you like them or not, whether or not they hose your box or not. Aldous Huxley might have had an opinion about this type of game.

8. It may not be as easy as it seems to decline feature updates

Well of course not. Not if you can't stop updates in general. Are we headed back to another wave of 'embrace and extend'? Microsoft haven't had a success story for more years than current preteens have been on the planet. We know Bill and his ilk. They'll stop at nothing.

9. There are still some known unknowns

True. And we don't even know - as Bill Gates knew in 1996 - that the new Windows back then had, on release day, precisely 17 bugs, no more, no less. Bill's a smart guy. Geez.

10. The Windows 10 migration may be the last

CIO should not fill us with false hopes.

There's no need to rush to Windows 10 just because it's been released.
